Cooeee - Hi there!
Well, it's not that far away now
The 1066 annual reunion
Remembering the Battle of Hastings
In the UK in 1066
You've not heard of it?
Or you've forgotten it?
Well, it's an annual reunion
Anyone can go on one condition
You have to have been there in person
In 1066
Now there's a few poets who were there
Myself, Goldfinch, Michael Edwards
Maybe more
Were you there?
Check your old diaries to have a look
Did you go there last October?
October 14th is the actual date
I'm going again
And I'm taking my dog with me
A watchdog, ya know
He barks at anyone not marking up their poem as 18+
If it should be marked so
His bark is worse than his bite though
Sometimes he barks too much
But it's to save me swooning at some poems
Woof! Not now Fido!
It's a completely barmy reunion
They act out the battle too
I'm in it
I mucked it up
I said to Harold 'Look up, Sire'
And he did, at that fateful moment
When an arrow flew through the air, and....
The rest is history!
See ya there - maybe!
(Orchi's just eccentric, ya know!)

I did tell Orchi not to look up but as usual he ignored my request as he was sneaking some water into my whisky!!
Doh! I would be doing so! heehee. Thanks Gold.
All that rubbish indeed - the field was scattered with cannon shot, bits of armour, and an eye - was it yours?
Great funloads !!
Thanks Michael. Oh, the clip gives an alternative ending - arrow in the eye, or hacked to death!
Love the clip - wish I could run like that.
Hi STEVE ~ An oft quoted phrase TEN SIXTY SIX and ALL THAT ~ used to describe any stressful situation. My last experience was my CHEMISTRY finals ~ the syllabus was CHEMISTRY since 1066 ! I just did an ORCHIDEE and wrote the first thing that came into my HEAD and got a 2:1. This opened DOORS for research etc ~ AMEN ! Loved the VIDEO & POEM ~ Yours BRIAN Dont forget my FUSION (Seasons) ~ OK BRIAN
Thanks Brian.
So good to read your great nonsense again! MaggieF
Thanks Maggie lol.
Oh I wish I could see it!
Thanks Lorna. lol.
are you referring to an actual re-enactment event here.. I have several friends who regularly participate in these things...
the animated film clip was very good..
Thanks N. Well, not exactly re-enactments. I mean, I am very old, and was there in person in 1066 (heehee) so I'm about 980 years old now - so I say! You dug out this rubbish - the poem?! lol.
